Abia Governor Okezie Ikpeazu was represented by his deputy on Tuesday when the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) Atiku Abubakar met with Southeast stakeholders.
But Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi was in attendance during the meeting, which Atiku attended with his running mate Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
The meeting, which commenced around 1.30pm, was attended by the newly appointed chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara; national secretary of the party, Senator Samuel Anyanwu; governorship candidates of the party in Abia, Enugu and Ebonyi States and some senatorial and House of representatives candidates.
It was not known why Ikpeazu, who belongs to the camp of Rivers Governor Nyesom Wike demanding for the resignation of National Chairman of the PDP Iyorchia Ayu as a precondition to support Atiku, was not at the crucial meeting.
